Fully funded PhD at the University of Birmingham investigating ion transport in nanoporous materials for energy storage and conversion applications.
Project Description
This PhD project explores ion and water transport in nanoporous materials under extreme confinement and pressurisation.
The research focuses on materials such as Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs), examining their potential for energy absorption, storage, and ion separation. It combines experimental work with molecular simulations to understand ion transport mechanisms at the nanoscale.
The project is a collaboration between the University of Birmingham and the University of Melbourne, offering access to advanced experimental facilities and computational platforms, as well as opportunities for international research experience.
